Michigan and Wisconsin still on hold with their coaching searches (AUDIO)

After LSU’s Monday evening bowl practice, Tigers’ coach Les Miles addressed persistent rumors that he will return to his alma mater, where he played under Bo Schembechler and spent a decade as an assistant coach. Miles refused to be quoted on the record, but he sent a clear message: A return to Ann Arbor is not going to happen. He and his agent, have not heard from Michigan, Miles said, and he would not change jobs even if Michigan made contact.

Paul Chryst is still the head coach of the Pittsburgh Panthers. While the former Wisconsin player and offensive coordinator said Monday he has talked to the Badgers about the vacant head coaching position, he hasn’t heard anything concrete and doesn’t expect to before Wednesday, the earliest Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez can name a successor to Gary Andersen.
